What Would Genghis Khan Do?
By Donald K. Allen, MS, DVM,
BNJ Columnist Youngstown, Ohio
If the Great and Glorious Genghis Khan were alive today, and he still wanted to control the earth, what would he do to defeat the last superpower in the world? To invade would be extremely costly in lives, fortune, and time. Instead, his advisors would probably suggest that he destroy the country in another manner. He could defeat this superpower and bring it to its knees by depleting its economy to the point where it could not afford to defend itself or respond to any threat. He would drain its coffers dry.
Today we have an administration that is doing just that. It is setting the stage for the conquest of the United States of America by turning “The Arsenal of Democracy” into a pauper nation. The two greatest drains on our economy are continuing unchecked – the “greatest flow of wealth” to the Middle East to purchase oil, and the ever-increasing imbalance of trade with China that has already wiped out our manufacturing base.
Instead of forging ahead to make us independent of foreign oil by drilling everywhere we can domestically, our President is focusing entirely on “green energy development,” even though it will take at least a generation or two (20 to 50 years) to convert our vehicles to other fuels. Petroleum products will always be required on this planet in the form of lubricants, fuel, and to make plastics and chemicals. We have enough oil reserves in this country to get us through the transition to other forms of energy, we only need to drill for it.
Instead of reducing the imbalance of trade with China, our Secretary of State just assured them that the burgeoning trade will continue to grow as long as China continues to buy our Treasury Bills and help us increase our debt. China wants to increase the exportation of more food items to the USA, even though the risk of that food being contaminated with heavy metals, pesticides, and other harmful chemicals is tremendous. Thus far we have limited trade in foods, but this administration will certainly open that floodgate. Sixty percent of the apple juice in this country now comes from China. What is the main ingredient in our kids’ juice drinks? Remember, we are only able to check 0.6 percent of the foods coming into this country. Less than one percent!!!
Yes, Genghis Khan has his man in place, and before long this country will be bankrupt.
Then the once great United States of America will become a second-rate nation in the New World Order, ruled over by the ultra-wealthy megalomaniacs who can only be truly happy when they control everyone.
Control the economy, and you control the world. How can we the people stop this madness? First, stop believing that change is always for the good. Second, stop believing that hope is all we need to make things better. We need to turn the ship around, and that will require action:
1. Revoke Most Favored Nation status from China. China never deserved it to begin with, but China bought MFN through financial influence and campaign donations, lobbying, and deals with American mega-retailers.
2. Maximize oil production in this country NOW. Drill wherever oil can be found in this country and in its territorial waters. The transition away from oil will never occur if we become a pauper nation, because alternative power is initially even more expensive than oil. Build more nuclear plants to provide the electricity we will need for electric cars, and use the enormous stores of coal that we have in our own back yard. Coal-fired power plants and environmental protection can effectively coexist. In case you have forgotten the cycle of photosynthesis, vegetation REQUIRES CO² to live. (A truly enlightening book is Michael Crichton’s “State of Fear,” which exposes the current motivations of environmental organizations.)
3. Eliminate the Federal Reserve System. It is the cause of constant inflation and devaluation of the dollar. Return to a gold/silver-backed currency for stability, trust, and financial crisis prevention.
Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Three steps to stop the hemorrhage of our wealth and return us to a growing economy. How can borrowing more money (trillions!!) make a debtor better off? Common sense tells you it can’t possibly do that. Common sense tells you that if you move your manufacturing base to another country, you will lose and they will win economically. Common sense tells you that if you are paying someone else a premium for oil when you have plenty in your own back yard, you are a fool.
Oh, by the way, in order to speed up our riches-to-rags process President Obama is DOUBLING foreign aid. That’s right, let’s give away even more money that we don’t have! It looks like we will all live to see the bankruptcy of the USA, and our children and grandchildren will live in a poor society. Let us pray to God that His Divine protection of this great Nation will intervene in some manner to prevent this process from continuing. end

“Feds Unveil Plan To Sop Up Bad Bank Assets.”
Yes, it’s tongue-in-cheek.
WASHINGTON – The Obama administration, in an effort to stimulate consumer spending in the struggling economy, moved Tuesday with several major banks to issue up to four new bank credit cards to people who have already maxed out their present credit card accounts. In an unprecedented action that parallels his bailouts of banks and other Wall Street interests, President Obama hopes that Americans will go out and plunge themselves even deeper in debt to allow the banks to realize increased interest payments. The flow of interest into these private banking concerns is the paramount objective of all of this administration’s efforts thus far. “We cannot let these banks fail, or the whole world will collapse and the sky will fall on all our heads,” banking representative Charles C. Little stated.
New credit cards will be delivered in the mail within a week in hopes that spending sprees will soon follow. It is imperative that interest payments on loans, including credit cards, continue unabated, or bank owners and their families will not be able to maintain the standard of living to which they are accustomed. Their wealth was supposed to have been guaranteed by the formation of the Federal Reserve System nearly 100 years ago, but financiers on Wall Street created innovative paper assets that proved to be not only volatile, but are now termed “toxic,” as if some villain had poisoned the water. The American people did not create sub-prime mortgages, but they were duped into buying them. True, some saw an opportunity to get something for nothing, and took the bait, but sound banking practices should have prevented this from ever happening. Unindicted felons in Congress are responsible, along with their lobbyists and financial contributors, for virtually destroying the economy of this country.
In a news release yesterday, regarding the latest plan to “stimulate” the economy, the administration stated that our government would shoulder the vast bulk of the risk in taking over “bad bank assets.” “The government,” of course, gets its income by taking it from we the people. Perhaps it is time that the National We The People Bank suspend credit to the Obama administration, beginning April 15, 2009?
"This has never been about helping Wall Street or helping a firm that made mistakes," Christina Romer, head of the Council of Economic Advisers, said Monday. "It's absolutely about helping a system so that people can get their student loans, and that families can buy their house and buy their cars, and small businesses can get their loans." Oh, really? Apparently it’s about getting people to take out loans so that banks can make a profit on the interest. That’s it, folks.

Ohio Congressional Candidate and BNJ Columnist Dr. Don Allen Speaks At Ohio TEA PARTY
I was asked to speak at our Youngstown, OH Tax Day Tea Party. We had rain up until 15 minutes before 4 p.m., when the events began. We had a small group of 260 people, but they were all very enthusiastic, angry, and afraid that our country is being destroyed from within. The subsequent coverage by national media was grossly obvious that they are in the pocket of Obama & Co. Their claim that these people were right wing extremists financed by the Republican Party is simply ludicrous. They just don't get it. This was WE THE PEOPLE speaking, and this administration had better listen up.
The next day I read through the Wall Street Journal to see what they did for coverage. On page 3 was the article on the tea parties, but the bold-face headline read, "Obama Calls for Simpler Tax Code." It should have read, "Citizens Protest Economic Disaster." They spun the headline to favor the administration.
Did anyone read or hear anywhere anything about the tea bags that were sent to Washington??? Not a word? There must have been a mountain of them, and they all went to a DC substation equipped to handle "suspicious" letters, which has been the standard procedure since the anthrax problem. So where's the story on that? Did they just take them all to the dump? Did anyone count them? Probably not. They were probably told not to, so that the number couldn't be used by the "opposition," i.e. the vast majority of American citizens.
Not only is this administration out of touch with the reality of WE THE PEOPLE, but they don't seem to give a damn. How do we deal with this? Very simple. Next year we elect new people to Congress. We can't get this done with just a 30 or 40 percent turnout of voters. We need 100 percent turnout! You need to make sure that everyone you know goes to the polls next year to throw these idiots out of office. That's right. Go to the statistics on how members of Congress have voted this past year. If they voted 95 percent or greater with their party, they need to go (you might give the Republican members a little leeway on this).
But the Democrats are pushing through legislation that common sense tells normal people it is wrong. These members of Congress have virtually NO common sense regarding the wants of Obama, Pelosi and Reid. Our local Representative, Timmy Ryan, Pelosi's lap dog, boasted that he has $500 million in earmarks for our area. Yes, a half billion dollars! And he makes it sound like this is great for our area and isn't he wonderful for getting all this money for us? Well, Timmy, that's already OUR money you are giving back to us, or more likely, it is our grandchildren's and great-grandchildren's money that you are borrowing from China to squander on pet projects to help you get reelected. Time to go home and work for a living, Timmy.
All for now,
